Impaired Judgement

-That's really dumb
-What?
-Drugs, taking drugs
-What do you mean?
-You said drugs can hurt you, how do you know they can?
-How do you know they can't?
-How do you know they can?
-How do you know they can't?
-How do you know they can?

Do what you wanna do

We do this to forget
Every single day we're dealing with that same shit
Only thing we know, try to take control
Can't see it on our own
Damaging our souls
And so

Yeah, teeth are clenched
Bob Marley in the boat
Mama hates me
Rock back and forth in the fetal pose
Can't speak English
My back's so heavy
Mouth's on the tank's spout, take a lethal dose
Vomit in my hat
In my lap {blaaah}
Chase around a rat
It's my cat? Man fuck that
Seems bad
Yeah, middle of the street blasted
Cops throw me on the hood of the Caprise Classic
Chess with Jason
Chest brazen
He less patient
Steve King verse Wes Craven
Less saving
More God please, shaking soda wet
Scared to death and Gilbert Gottfried
Stopping at the green light, nap in the whip
Rear end a Pontiac, a fat gash on the lip
One last little sip of 'shroom tea
At a stranger's front door
Must've grabbed the wrong room key

We do this to forget
Every single day we're dealing with that same shit
Only thing we know, try to take control
Can't see it on our own
Damaging our souls
And so

I told myself I'd never follow in the footsteps
And head straight into that liquor store
I used to wonder what she did it for
How could you hate your life enough to never straighten up
Was it that dad didn't make enough?
Cash and you made it up
Some kind of sob story you wrote the ending for
You didn't have the lives of others so you ended yours
And I know you didn't mean it
How could you have seen
What you do would have you leave before I exited my teens
They say it's running in my genes
We love to love what hates us
If life is nothing but a dream then I should wake up
Look at the damage that I'm doing
I'm managing and functional
But slamming cans of rum and Coke
My habits of an average 21 year old
Am I an addict or manic trying to fucking cope?
And I tell myself I shouldn't
It's always on my mind
So I head up to that liquor store to grab another pint
Because

We do this to forget
Every single day we're dealing with that same shit
Only thing we know, try to take control
Can't see it on our own
Damaging our souls
And so
